Answers:
- x = 4
- AB = 36
- BC = 36
- AC = 36
All three sides are 36 units long.
===========================================================
Explanation:
Triangle ABC is equilateral, so all three sides are the same length.
Pick any two of those sides, set them equal to each other, and solve for x
AB = BC
8x+4 = 11x-8
8x-11x = -8-4
-3x = -12
x = -12/(-3)
x = 4
Use this x value to find each side. We should get the same value (if not, then an error occurred in solving for x).
- AB = 8x+4 = 8*4+4 = 32+4 = 36
- BC = 11x-8 = 11*4-8 = 44-8 = 36
- AC = 9x = 9*4 = 36
We get the same value for the three side lengths, so this confirms we have the correct x value.

Answer:
Assume ΔABC is an acute triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the triangle ABC.
We have to tell the first step of indirect proving ΔABC is not an acute triangle.
An indirect proof, also known a proof by contradiction. When we use indirect proof method, we assume the opposite of our theory to be true and then by applying our assumed theory we contradict the given statement which proves our supposition is wrong. In other words, we assume our theory is false.
Hence, our first step is to
Assume ΔABC is an acute triangle.
Third option is correct.
She has 10 liters left. Find 4/9 of 18 by multiplying 4/9 and 18. 4/9 of 18 is 8, so she served 8 of the 18, leaving 10 liters.
